Job 7
1 Mihem jouse hinkho hi hahsatna toh kidel jing hilou ham? Ihinkho uhi kitha lah khut tobang hilou ham?
"Isn't a man forced to labor on earth? Aren't his days like the days of a hired hand?
2 Liim ngaicha aum natong mi tobang ahin, soh atohna man ngah tobang ahi.
As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,
3 Keima jong lha phabep sunga chu phatchomna bei natoh eikipen ahi, lunggel gentheina dimset in jankho sot noijah genthei kathoh e.
so am I made to possess months of misery, wearisome nights are appointed to me.
4 Jalkhun chungah kalumin, itih tah le jingkah ahitadem tin kagel jin, ahinlah jan in eisu chol in khovah kahsen kaki pehle le jin ahi.
When I lie down, I say, 'When shall I arise, and the night be gone?' I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.
5 Kati chungla than leh akhih in atom dimin ka vun jong apohkeh gamin anai along longe.
My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
6 Ka nikho ho jong pon khong ho patphei kilham sangin ging jon, kinepna beijin akichai ji'e.
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7 O Pathen, kahin kho hi hai khat bep bou ahi ti nei geldoh peh in, chule keiman kipana hi kanei kit lou hel ding ahi.
Oh remember that my life is a breath. My eye shall no more see good.
8 Nangin tua hi neimu ahin, ahinlah nei musot pon nate, nangin neiven natin ahinlah keima ana chemang tange.
The eye of him who sees me shall see me no more. Your eyes shall be on me, but I shall not be.
As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol shall come up no more. (Sheol h7585)
10 Amaho chu ainuva patna tonsotna mukit tah lou dinga chemang ahitauve.
He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
11 Keima thusei louvin kaum theipoi, kalung genthei naho kasei doh a ka lhagao genthei jeh a kiphin ding kahi.
"Therefore I will not keep silent. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Keima hi twikhanglen'a kichat chat um ganhing len ahilouleh gullui kahia nahonbit nanoija chu neikoi jeng ding ham?
Am I a sea, or a sea monster, that you put a guard over me?
13 Keima kalupna in eilhamon intin, chule ka imut teng kanat genthei na ho olsah tante tin kagelle.
When I say, 'My bed shall comfort me. My couch shall ease my complaint;'
14 Ahinlah nangin mangse neimatsah jin, chule gaothil mu in nei kichat sah ji'e.
then you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions:
15 Hitia genthei thoh sang hin, eikimeh lih jeng hen lang thileng pha kasa joi.
so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.
16 Kahinkho kadei mon hitia hin hin ding hi kadei tapoi, O nikho lhomcha kanei sung hin kachangin nei dalha jengin.
I loathe my life. I do not want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17 Mihem hohi ipi hiuva, nangin hibanga hi na khohsah a chule nagel jing jeng ham?
What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,
18 Ajeh chu nangin jingkah seh le nakhol chil soh in, chule phat jousen na patep jinge.
that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
19 Kachil valna ding phatsung beh a ipi dinga nei dalhah lou ham?
How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
20 Chonset kanei ahilehnang chunga ipi kabol khah ham? O mihem te vejing pa, keihi nanga dinga pohgih kahija, natup penna neisem ham?
If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself?
21 Kachonsetna hi ngaidam jengin lang chule kathemmona ho nei lahmang peh tan, ajeh chu leivui lah a kijam a thivah ding kahitan, nangin hin ven natin chemang tange.
Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I shall not be."
